2 bed cottage for sale

Crowntown, Helston TR13

This two bedroom semi-detached cottage presents a rare opportunity for those looking to create a wonderful home in a charming semi-rural setting. In need of total refurbishment, the property already benefits from planning consent for a ground floor extension, which would significantly enhance the living space.

As it stands, the accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and shower room on the ground floor, with two well-proportioned double bedrooms on the first floor. The approved plans would transform the layout, creating a spacious dual aspect lounge with direct access to the garden, a dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, bathroom and side porch, while retaining two generous double bedrooms upstairs.

A true highlight of this property are the gardens – unusually large for a cottage of this size and backing onto open countryside. Already extensively planted with mature trees and shrubs, they offer an exceptional degree of privacy and a real sense of being immersed in nature.

The gardens are arranged in two main areas: The first, directly accessed from the cottage, is mainly lawn with a former patio area and useful block-built outhouse; beyond this lies a further space, home to a dilapidated greenhouse, which would make a fantastic produce garden if desired.

This is a superb opportunity to create a stylish and individual home, with a glorious garden and a lifestyle that enjoys the best of the countryside while remaining within easy reach of major towns and local amenities.
